Dropping my own mooring setup in south Florida

[Kfay]

Hey Everyone,
From the research I have found this seems to be a hot topic with anchoring. I am not from Florida so I do not know any of the laws here regarding dropping my own mooring setup. Where can I do it? Who approves it? Are permits necessary? If permits are necessary how much does it cost? I am interested in south Florida primarily from Pompano to South Miami maybe the Keys... I appreciate anyones input on the topic.

What is required probably varies from town to town, or it may be regulated at the county level. Pick the place you want and then look it up online. There is probably a listing for the harbormaster and what the rules are. There may be a waiting list in one place and no problem in another. It all depends.

The way I understand it in florida. Whatever you drop in the water need to be able to come up. when you leave
